MEGA BLOGGING MARATHON -SEPT 2017

#80TH BLOGGING MARATHONTHEME: PROTEIN RICH DISHES

DAY: 1

I’m taking part in the MEGA Blogging marathon for the first time. It’s proving to be quite a challenge getting 26 protein rich recipes together especially when I’m a vegetarian/eggetarian. However, its through this challenge that I’ve learnt, there are so many sources of protein that lacto ovo vegetarians can include in their diets.

My dad was visiting us in Montreal in Aug. He loves all his fried snacks and enjoys them for his brunch. Now all those who live in small apartments in the western world know that deep frying can be a bother especially when you don’t have multiple windows or doors to open up as in India or Kenya to let fresh air come into your home. As much as I would have loved to serve him with bhajias that are deep fried, I opted for a healthier and more ‘air friendly’ paddus. I hate it when the smell of hot oil lingers on in the air.He didn’t complain so I guess, the paniyaram pan and I passed the test.

So here’s a recipe for mixed dal paddus which we snacked on without any guilt. I seriously don’t miss the fried version (okay I know they turn out much crunchier) but the taste wins and the paddus did turn out crunchy as I added a little bit more oil for my dad.

By no means am I claiming or supporting any sort of fad diet that are the latest craze in the fitness world. I’m just trying to include non meat non fish dishes from which you can get your protein source.

It is awesome that you have started the mega marathon. Trust me, it is so addictive that you simply cannot pass up the next time.The paddus look crunchy and delicious. A perfect snack for a chilly evening. Nice your dad enjoyed them. Lovely clicks!

Lentils are a great source of protein and these along with peas and spinach make great paniyarams. The fried version would naturally be tastier but I guess the preference is for non fried .And yes ! All the best , it's your first Mega marathon.

oh I know what you are talking about! Our house is saturated with the smell of Indian food sometimes. There isn't much you can do about it though. Paniyaram pan is a good idea to reduce the damage both smellwise and health wise.

Hey I have also planned a similar recipe for this mega marathon. Tough I havent prepared it yet since I have planned it for the last week. Yours seem fabulous. Superb clicks. Looking forward to your other recipes.
